[ Upstream commit 0cfa5c07 ] This bug is discovered by an recent F-RTO issue on tcpm list https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tcpm/current/msg08794.html The bug is that currently F-RTO does not use DSACK to undo cwnd in certain cases: upon receiving an ACK after the RTO retransmission in F-RTO, and the ACK has DSACK indicating the retransmission is spurious, the sender only calls tcp_try_undo_loss() if some never retransmisted data is sacked (FLAG_ORIG_DATA_SACKED). The correct behavior is to unconditionally call tcp_try_undo_loss so the DSACK information is used properly to undo the cwnd reduction. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 9d0d68fa ] Now it is not possible to set mtu to team device which has a port enslaved to it. The reason is that when team_change_mtu() calls dev_set_mtu() for port device, notificator for NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU event is called and team_device_event() returns NOTIFY_BAD forbidding the change. So fix this by returning NOTIFY_DONE here in case team is changing mtu in team_change_mtu(). Introduced-by: 3d249d4c "net: introduce ethernet teaming device" Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 39c36094 ] I noticed we were sending wrong IPv4 ID in TCP flows when MTU discovery is disabled. Note how GSO/TSO packets do not have monotonically incrementing ID. 06:37:41.575531 IP (id 14227, proto: TCP (6), length: 4396) 06:37:41.575534 IP (id 14272, proto: TCP (6), length: 65212) 06:37:41.575544 IP (id 14312, proto: TCP (6), length: 57972) 06:37:41.575678 IP (id 14317, proto: TCP (6), length: 7292) 06:37:41.575683 IP (id 14361, proto: TCP (6), length: 63764) It appears I introduced this bug in linux-3.1. inet_getid() must return the old value of peer->ip_id_count, not the new one. Lets revert this part, and remove the prevention of a null identification field in IPv6 Fragment Extension Header, which is dubious and not even done properly.

[ Upstream commit 2d7a85f4 ] It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack. To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra. The offending series includes: commit aa4cf945 Author: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Date: Wed Apr 23 14:28:03 2014 -0700 net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages If a given kernel version is missing that series of fixes, it's probably worth backporting it and this patch. if that series is present, then this fix is critical if you care about Zebra.

[ Upstream commit 90f62cf3 ] It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that privileged executable did not intend to do. To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls. Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well. Reported-by:

Move the computation into packet_diag_dump and pass a bool of the result into sock_diag_filterinfo.

The 'guilty' commit changed the order of cleanup code so that nsproxy->mnt_ns was not already available for Apparmor. Discussion about the issue with Al Viro and Eric W. Biederman suggested that kernel_read() is too high-level for IMA. Another issue, except security checking, that was identified is mandatory locking. kernel_read honors it as well and it might prevent IMA from calculating necessary hash. It was suggested to use simplified version of the function without security and locking checks. This patch introduces special version ima_kernel_read(), which skips security and mandatory locking checking. It prevents the kernel oops to happen. Signed-off-by:

commit 1d2b60a5 upstream. This patch adds an explicit check in chap_server_compute_md5() to ensure the CHAP_C value received from the initiator during mutual authentication does not match the original CHAP_C provided by the target. This is in line with RFC-3720, section 8.2.1: Originators MUST NOT reuse the CHAP challenge sent by the Responder for the other direction of a bidirectional authentication. Responders MUST check for this condition and close the iSCSI TCP connection if it occurs. Reported-by:

commit 2fe121e1 upstream. The rtc user must wait at least 1 sec between each time/calandar update (see atmel's datasheet chapter "Updating Time/Calendar"). Use the 1Hz interrupt to update the at91_rtc_upd_rdy flag and wait for the at91_rtc_wait_upd_rdy event if the rtc is not ready. This patch fixes a deadlock in an uninterruptible wait when the RTC is updated more than once every second. AFAICT the bug is here from the beginning, but I think we should at least backport this fix to 3.10 and the following longterm and stable releases. Signed-off-by:

commit 49e068f0 upstream. The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages() starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn. In a for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first pfn for the next for loop iteration. This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages. Currently this can happen when a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary. This also permits replacing the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple pageblock_nr_pages increment. Signed-off-by:

commit 7ed695e0 upstream. Compaction of a zone is finished when the migrate scanner (which begins at the zone's lowest pfn) meets the free page scanner (which begins at the zone's highest pfn). This is detected in compact_zone() and in the case of direct compaction, the compact_blockskip_flush flag is set so that kswapd later resets the cached scanner pfn's, and a new compaction may again start at the zone's borders. The meeting of the scanners can happen during either scanner's activity. However, it may currently fail to be detected when it occurs in the free page scanner, due to two problems. First, isolate_freepages() keeps free_pfn at the highest block where it isolated pages from, for the purposes of not missing the pages that are returned back to allocator when migration fails. Second, failing to isolate enough free pages due to scanners meeting results in -ENOMEM being returned by migrate_pages(), which makes compact_zone() bail out immediately without calling compact_finished() that would detect scanners meeting. This failure to detect scanners meeting might result in repeated attempts at compaction of a zone that keep starting from the cached pfn's close to the meeting point, and quickly failing through the -ENOMEM path, without the cached pfns being reset, over and over. This has been observed (through additional tracepoints) in the third phase of the mmtests stress-highalloc benchmark, where the allocator runs on an otherwise idle system. The problem was observed in the DMA32 zone, which was used as a fallback to the preferred Normal zone, but on the 4GB system it was actually the largest zone. The problem is even amplified for such fallback zone - the deferred compaction logic, which could (after being fixed by a previous patch) reset the cached scanner pfn's, is only applied to the preferred zone and not for the fallbacks. The problem in the third phase of the benchmark was further amplified by commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") which resulted in a non-deterministic regression of the allocation success rate from ~85% to ~65%. This occurs in about half of benchmark runs, making bisection problematic. It is unlikely that the commit itself is buggy, but it should put more pressure on the DMA32 zone during phases 1 and 2, which may leave it more fragmented in phase 3 and expose the bugs that this patch fixes. The fix is to make scanners meeting in isolate_freepage() stay that way, and to check in compact_zone() for scanners meeting when migrate_pages() returns -ENOMEM. The result is that compact_finished() also detects scanners meeting and sets the compact_blockskip_flush flag to make kswapd reset the scanner pfn's. The results in stress-highalloc benchmark show that the "regression" by commit 81c0a2bb in phase 3 no longer occurs, and phase 1 and 2 allocation success rates are also significantly improved.

commit d3132e4b upstream. Compaction caches pfn's for its migrate and free scanners to avoid scanning the whole zone each time. In compact_zone(), the cached values are read to set up initial values for the scanners. There are several situations when these cached pfn's are reset to the first and last pfn of the zone, respectively. One of these situations is when a compaction has been deferred for a zone and is now being restarted during a direct compaction, which is also done in compact_zone(). However, compact_zone() currently reads the cached pfn's *before* resetting them. This means the reset doesn't affect the compaction that performs it, and with good chance also subsequent compactions, as update_pageblock_skip() is likely to be called and update the cached pfn's to those being processed. Another chance for a successful reset is when a direct compaction detects that migration and free scanners meet (which has its own problems addressed by another patch) and sets update_pageblock_skip flag which kswapd uses to do the reset because it goes to sleep. This is clearly a bug that results in non-deterministic behavior, so this patch moves the cached pfn reset to be performed *before* the values are read. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a OOPs where an attempt to write to the per-device alua_access_state configfs attribute at: /sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA/$DEV/alua/$TG_PT_GP/alua_access_state results in an NULL pointer dereference when the backend device has not yet been configured. This patch adds an explicit check for DF_CONFIGURED, and fails with -ENODEV to avoid this case. Reported-by:

commit e7810c2d upstream. This patch allows READ_CAPACITY + SAI_READ_CAPACITY_16 opcode processing to occur while the associated ALUA group is in Standby access state. This is required to avoid host side LUN probe failures during the initial scan if an ALUA group has already implicitly changed into Standby access state. This addresses a bug reported by Chris + Philip using dm-multipath + ESX hosts configured with ALUA multipath. (Drop v3.15 specific set_ascq usage - nab) Reported-by:

commit 79d59d08 upstream. In non-leading connection login, iscsi_login_non_zero_tsih_s1() calls iscsi_change_param_value() with the buffer it uses to hold the login PDU, not a temporary buffer. This leads to the login header getting corrupted and login failing for non-leading connections in MC/S. Fix this by adding a wrapper iscsi_change_param_sprintf() that handles the temporary buffer itself to avoid confusion. Also handle sending a reject in case of failure in the wrapper, which lets the calling code get quite a bit smaller and easier to read. Finally, bump the size of the temporary buffer from 32 to 64 bytes to be safe, since "MaxRecvDataSegmentLength=" by itself is 25 bytes; with a trailing NUL, a value >= 1M will lead to a buffer overrun. (This isn't the default but we don't need to run right at the ragged edge here) (Fix up context changes for v3.10.y - nab) Reported-by:

This patch fixes a iser-target specific regression introduced in v3.15-rc6 with: commit 14f4b54f Author: Sagi Grimberg <sagig@mellanox.com> Date: Tue Apr 29 13:13:47 2014 +0300 Target/iscsi,iser: Avoid accepting transport connections during stop stage where the change to set iscsi_np->enabled = false within iscsit_clear_tpg_np_login_thread() meant that a iscsi_np with two iscsi_tpg_np exports would have it's parent iscsi_np set to a disabled state, even if other iscsi_tpg_np exports still existed. This patch changes iscsit_clear_tpg_np_login_thread() to only set iscsi_np->enabled = false when shutdown = true, and also changes iscsit_del_np() to set iscsi_np->enabled = true when iscsi_np->np_exports is non zero.

commit 14f4b54f upstream. When the target is in stop stage, iSER transport initiates RDMA disconnects. The iSER initiator may wish to establish a new connection over the still existing network portal. In this case iSER transport should not accept and resume new RDMA connections. In order to learn that, iscsi_np is added with enabled flag so the iSER transport can check when deciding weather to accept and resume a new connection request. The iscsi_np is enabled after successful transport setup, and disabled before iscsi_np login threads are cleaned up. (Fix up context changes for v3.10.y - nab) Signed-off-by:

commit 895162b1 upstream. else we may fail to forward skb even if original fragments do fit outgoing link mtu: 1. remote sends 2k packets in two 1000 byte frags, DF set 2. we want to forward but only see '2k > mtu and DF set' 3. we then send icmp error saying that outgoing link is 1500 But original sender never sent a packet that would not fit the outgoing link. Setting local_df makes outgoing path test size vs. IPCB(skb)->frag_max_size, so we will still send the correct error in case the largest original size did not fit outgoing link mtu. Reported-by:

commit 23adbe12 upstream. The kernel has no concept of capabilities with respect to inodes; inodes exist independently of namespaces. For example, inode_capable(inode, CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE) would be nonsense. This patch changes inode_capable to check for uid and gid mappings and renames it to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid, which should make it more obvious what it does. Fixes CVE-2014-4014.

commit 14c63f17 upstream. This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time. Signed-off-by:
